I taught Latin American literature and Spanish language. In 1983, was hired by the Modern Languages Department, which soon became the Romance Languages & Literatures Department and finally split off into the Spanish Department. I directed the Morelia Program in Mexico for many years and was Section Head of Spanish and eventually Department Chair of Romance Languages & Literatures, as well as the Coordinator of Latin American Studies Program several times during my career. I retired in 2019.
At Carleton since 2019.
